You've heard that it resembles a jail in middle of no where next to a giant field with horses to go on the side. But if you're really from Oswego East, you know that the school is not at all what it seems. Here are some signs that show you're truly from Oswego East.
1. You’re aware of the principal changing situation
Since 2013, OE has changed principals 4 times. Principals: Dr. Jeff Craig (2008-2013), Dr. Louis Lee (2013-2014), Dr. Todd Martens (2014), Craig Watson (2015), Dr. Scott Savage (2015-2016).
2. Muffin Monday!!!
Our Mondays aren't quite as bleak because we have our favorite, $1, giant, delicious muffin to look forward to. The hype is real.
3. Diversity
I don’t know the statistics, but I’ve always heard that OE was a pretty diverse school and everyone is actually pretty nice. Not to mention that OE now has a Black Student Association, Indian Student Association, Muslim Student Association, Lambs Among Wolves, LULAC and MOSAIC.
4. Your refer to the cafeteria as "The Commons"
The infamous Cinderella stairs are pretty much ready to be used in the upcoming "High School Musical 4."
5. You knew Reggie at one point
“Aye young man!” was a popular phrase that you heard walking through the hallways. This phrase was equivalent to getting pulled over by the cops.
6. Dean’s Assistants
DAs everywhere! Even though there are DAs constantly roaming the hallways, it doesn’t quite faze us because our relationship’s pretty chill.
7. WolfPack News ---Wolves Rock!
Whether you saw it during the first five minutes of second period or during you guided study, WolfPack news was once something that we all looked forward to. Over the years, I saw the hype for the news decrease and maybe it’s because I was a stupid, overly excited freshman at one point or teachers just stopped showing it to their students.
8. WolfPack
Our Wolfpack has evolved and natural selection has chosen in our favor as we are known as one of the greatest school spirit clubs around town.
9. There are so many wings!
Ever since the expansion of the school, we’ve expanded to the original wings A, B, C, D, E, F, G, with an additional three wings H, J, K…..L,M,N,O,P…JK.
10. The F Wing
Speaking of wings, you're well aware that the F wings are where all the traffic jams occur. You find yourself on a mission to navigate yourself through this hallway.
11. ABCD Lunch or Guided Study
Whether you had ABCD lunch or have Guided Study, you never get more than 30 minutes to eat lunch. Before you could even finish eating your greasy pizza you hear “LET’S GO!” X2.
12. Excellence, Academics, SPIRIT, Tradition
You probably know that it’s not just Oswego East anymore; it’s Oswego E.A.S.T. We now stand for something greater. You also know it’s not really about the academics because we highly emphasize on school spirit which notably dominates the ambiance.
13. Music in the Hallways
With the change from the block scheduling to flex schedule, and the expansion of the school, the seven minute passing period was changed to six minutes. To help us get to class on time faster, you’d get five minutes of the same old music and then it would be cut off at the last minute as you are reminded you now need to run for class.
14. So Many Clubs!
You name it! We’ve got Anime Club, Cosmetology Club, Hate Free @ OE, Rock Climbing and even Shredd Club. With over 60 clubs, you can always find a place that fits you!
15. You've heard the story of the ghost girl in the PAC.
From a very trusted source, I've heard that the ghost girl is indeed there and real.
